Dear Editor:

The final voting countdown towards Nov. 3  is ticking madly away; political ads abound. One candidate, Sara Gideon, has accrued a notable list of endorsements. I last counted 27 and you can easily locate that list online.

One recent news item also caught my eye. That item was released on Oct. 2 by the Wabanaki Alliance, a new political organization advocating for tribal sovereignty in Maine. They shared their first legislative scorecard and listed champions and adversaries. On that list as a champion was the name, Sara Gideon.

I am pleased that even though Sara Gideon is running her senatorial campaign she still is active in her own state legislature. It was an honor to be listed as a champion. I expect that Sara will carry the same qualities of champion from state government to the national arena of U.S. Senator. I will be proud to call her “Our Senator.”
